Religious
institutions could be at risk of losing their tax-exempt status due
to their beliefs about marriage if the Supreme Court holds that gay
couples have a constitutional right to wed, President Obama’s
attorney acknowledged to the Supreme Court today.

“It’s
certainly going to be an issue,” Solicitor General Donald Verrilli
replied when Justice Samuel Alito asked if schools that support the
traditional definition of marriage would have to be treated like
schools that once opposed interracial marriage. “I don’t deny
that.”
